What I'm listening to today: "1920263 Meditative Ambient Guitar and Synth Soundscape Behringer Wasp Deluxe Microcosm", CJT
This dude seems to do basically daily jams on his pile of midrange synths and post them all to YouTube. I liked this one out of the pile where a wasp provides a quiet heartbeat and he improvises a guitar solo over it. 1980s dark cinematic feel, empty streets and echoes and vague menace in the form of a young Willem Dafoe, waiting for you somewhere
What I listened to today: "Zero", Lamb
Whatever "Trip-Hop" was. Was a tension between pulling ideas out of lounge-y jazz-y genres from the 30s-60s to jam them into electronica, vs pulling ideas out of electronica and jamming them into lounge-y jazz. Which was the real thing? The answer seems to come in tracks like these where the musicians just say screw it and make a song with no electronics. This track's pure voice and violin and the vibes are enormous, it's wonderful

To me it is good when people who make electronic music make a song with all acoustic instruments because it's like you've got these people who are used to thinking very precisely about the way things sound and then they wind up thinking very precisely about the way their acoustic instruments sound
